MPG

The Lincoln MKX is a midsize crossover vehicle that seats five passengers in a spacious cabin. It shares its platform with the Ford Edge, but the MKX is the more refined choice, with upscale leather, wood, technology and styling.

Choosing Your Lincoln MKX

Equipped with a 305-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine and a six-speed transmission, The MKX earns 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway in the front wheel drive model. With optional all-wheel drive, these ratings slip to 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway.

The MKX is well-equipped with standard features like leather seats, climate-controlled front seats, remote start, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, an air filtration system and a satellite radio.

Unless you need all-wheel drive traction where you live, skip the added expense and weight. Our pick is a front-wheel drive MKX with the Elite Package, but any MKX represents a strong value for midsize CUV luxury.
